Dr. Myriah Hinchey and Dr. Pamela Cipriano discuss chronic Lyme disease, recurrent UTIs, interstitial cystitis misdiagnosis, bladder biofilms, advanced testing, and integrative treatment strategies.
In this episode of LymeBytes!, I sit down with Dr. Pamela Cipriano, DNP, APRN, a specialist in chronic Lyme disease, to uncover a frequently missed root cause of chronic urinary tract infections and painful bladder symptoms: tick-borne illness.
We explore how Lyme disease and co-infections act as opportunistic pathogens that thrive in immune dysregulation and can embed directly into the bladder wall. Dr. Cipriano explains why so many patients—especially women—are misdiagnosed with Interstitial Cystitis or Painful Bladder Syndrome despite negative urine cultures, and how the bladder can serve as a long-term reservoir for persistent infection and inflammation.
This conversation also covers neurological bladder dysfunction in Lyme, diagnostic blind spots in conventional medicine, and integrative treatment strategies that address biofilms, detoxification, hormonal health, and immune repair. This episode is essential listening for anyone struggling with recurrent UTIs, chronic pelvic pain, or unexplained bladder symptoms.

In this compelling episode of the LymeBytes! Podcast, Dr. Myriah Hinchey is joined by Dr. Somer DelSignore to uncover the overlooked and under-discussed topic of congenital transmission of Lyme disease and other tick-borne infections from mother to child during pregnancy.
They explore how stealth pathogens like Borrelia, Bartonella, and Babesia can cross the placenta, disrupting fetal development and potentially leading to serious neurodevelopmental and immune conditions.
Dr. DelSignore shares insights from her journey, training with top Lyme specialists, and how this knowledge led her to develop the Reset Protocol to help children with mysterious and chronic conditions.
This episode is a must-watch for clinicians, parents, and advocates looking for real answers to complex pediatric health questions.

In this episode of the LymeBytes! Podcast, Dr. Myriah Hinchey and Dr. Somer DelSignore dive deep into the science, clinical realities, and public health failures around congenital Lyme disease.
They explain how tick-borne pathogens can pass from mother to fetus during pregnancy, leading to lifelong consequences, and why this issue remains largely ignored in mainstream medicine. You’ll hear about the inflammatory mechanisms that enable pathogens to breach the placental barrier, the red flags to watch for in infants and children, and how infections may underlie developmental conditions like autism, ADHD, and seizure disorders.
They also propose systemic changes needed in policy, prenatal care, medical training, and research to support families affected by congenital transmission.
Despite the challenges, this episode ends on a hopeful note—emphasizing the neuroplasticity of the developing brain and the potential for healing when we get to the root of these conditions.

Join me, Dr. Myriah Hinchey, on the LymeBytes! Podcast as I chat with Dr. Michael Karlfeldt about the hidden connection between chronic stealth infections and cancer. We dive into how infections like Borrelia, Bartonella, and viruses don’t just cause inflammation—they reshape the body’s terrain, promoting immune dysfunction and tumor growth.
Dr. Karlfeldt explains how these infections confuse the immune system, drive inflammation, and weaken tissue defenses, setting the stage for cancer to develop and thrive. We also explore integrative therapies such as photodynamic therapy, ozone IV treatments, and mitochondrial restoration that target both infections and cancer to support healing.
If you or someone you love is dealing with chronic infections or cancer, this episode offers new insights and hopeful strategies to restore balance and boost the body’s natural defenses.
